NEED HELP WITH SUPERCHARGER CHOICE. PLEASE! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

sixty4 · 07-25-2011, 09:44 PM

Hi all, finally pickup up my 2010 SS LS3 (manual). The problem is it needs a bit more punch for me! I am coming off selling my 01 Corvette that had a Novi Paxton SC. I am looking at Edelbrocks E Force or a Maggie. My Novi was good but only really made its power in the higher RPM,s. I am looking for a SC to make power down low and will be for street use only (will probably never see track time). My main concern is driveability and not blowing the darn thing up (as these internals are not forged). The other things I will do will be a set of headers and a CAI and a good tune thats about it!
Curious as what would be my best choice given what I am looking to do? Again the car will be for weekend getaways and summer cruising. And of course would still like to pass CT emissions.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I currently have ECS's Paxton Novi system on my 2010 LS3. The power is immediate and ungodly around 3200 RPM. With their cam and s/c system I am currently putting down 640 RWHP and 572 fpt. Needless to say, I could not be happier. I have no plans to track mine, its just a nice day/evening cruiser.

They did my Vette! Power just seemed to take a while to come on from day one. Did not do the cam package.

I would give Jannetty a call he's also in CT.

They make a new system for the Camaro that is outstanding! I am very picky when it comes to my vehicles, so I did tons of research before I made any choice. Maggies seem to be a nice system, but just don't have that kick that I was looking for. If they did your Vette, its definitely worth the drive back down to Jersey to see what they can do for you.

Just drove Chris nuts last week getting replacement idler pulley parts last week before selling my 01.

highstik5 · 07-25-2011, 10:09 PM

They just treated me really well. And I am very happy with my car. You obviously know what you are looking for, I would just suggest calling around and using the search feature in these forums. That's what I did.

sixty4 · 07-25-2011, 10:15 PM

Chris and Doug are great! Just so far away thats the only drawback for me....

I have the whipple on my 2010 and I love it. I've installed both a whipple and a maggie and have to say the fit & finish of the whipple is better, IMHO. The power is there off idle and perfect for a street-driven car.

GMRULZ · 07-26-2011, 01:09 PM

2nd for the whipple, but of the 2 you are deciding between I would definetly go maggie.

S-eatin-grin · 07-26-2011, 02:54 PM

How big are you eventually going??? You are lucky to be living so close to JRE. I'd talk to them about this...they will help you decide based on your goals.
